What I love about this channel is 4x4 offraoding,building camping vehicles, and most importantly, being with nature and appreciating the beauty of outdoors.
The best part of this video … apart from the beautiful drone shots … memories for your kids ✌️
Greetings from Germany everybody 👋
in a time where everyone seem to try and take with them the entire comfort of their home, including the washing machines, dryer, TV, power supply (which can power a small town) and the kitchen sink of course, its refreshing to see some "back to basics", the way it used to be, where it’s about enjoying the outdoors experience, pure and without lighting it like Kings Cross...if you want that level of comport, just stay home…
GUess you missed the other 795 videos of over the top gear on this channel ;)
@@Snook_ Give it a minute.........will have a complete camper interior done with roof top tent etc etc etc........Troopy's have been done to death........still the best platform though.
He literally camped for one night...not two weeks
@@geanozz8940 of course. It’s a job and gotta keep the sponsors happy with advertising and product placement. Gotta make money. That’s why these guys constantly build sell rinse repeat.
@@harrisonfilleul9070 Yeah but that with kids! So would feel like 2 weeks!
Its the 2nd time now that i observe, the colour white looking one,n great on a troopy. NICE COLOUR.
Love the back to basics from a man who had/has 'everything' in the way of camping rigs. Really helps keep things in perspective on what you need and what you dont and where it really is worth investing in additional comforts.
I found this video REALLY enjoyable 😃 This is what camping and off-roading is about. This is relatable content that gives everyone the confidence to go out and give it a go. Keep doing you love Ronny, but I found this video special 👍
Really loved this. Much more relatable than seeing all these sponsored ‘dream tourers’ and ultimate tourers. This is an experience that anybody with a basis 4x4 can enjoy.
Thanks mate, this video is a cure for all the overbuilt stuff on TH-cam. You've kept the vehicle true to it's intended purpose, without building a whole lot of furniture into it or cutting the roof off. So many people build their vehicles for only 5% of the driving they actually do, for the rest, they are lugging a heavy, cluttered tank around town.
Gotta love how even on a basic camp with the kids everything was well prepared and organised and the camara work was 👌
Thanks mate much appreciated
Coming from Europe to tour Australia, I am so impressed by this Ronny bloke who against all odds, being successfull on YT has the balls to go back to basic. I bow.
Back to Basics must be so refreshing for you, Ronny. Cheers for sharing these moments with us!
It was mate and very enjoyable too
I like how Western Australians for firewood have "just some Jarrah" lol. Looks like the Troopy works as intended and it looks like the kids also approve.
QUALITY TIME & GREAT VIDEO
So nice to see a basic experience. I have a relatively simple setup with rooftop tent on my Troopy. Love it.
I am saving up for my first troopy. Did you get a roof conversion? I would imagine a rooftop tent would make yours very tall?
@@matthalpin1981 no roof conversion. Got a rack with an iKamper Skycamp 2.0 on it. My wife, my two kids and I have plenty of room to sleep. No problems with the weight distribution because the tent is mounted up front. Not feeling top heavy as well. Old Man Emu suspension including a mild lift. 285/75 R16 KO2. Working perfectly onroad and offroad. My Troopy is not too heavy because I have only mounted parts that I really need.
@@matthalpin1981 regards from Germany
@@matthalpin1981 way to go. You will love your Troopy once you got it and will never let go.
Get yourself some Staun Tyre deflaters. Let the whole four Tyres down at once to the same pressure once you set them us. Piece of cake mate. Heaps quicker!
Goes to show ya, you don't need the entire ARB catalogue to go camping. Great vid! Hope this trend continues for a few more.
Really enjoyed this. Good content for what the "average joe" can achieve without kitting out the vehicle with expensive extras. Not everyone has the luxury of getting out there without having to take the kids along so it was great to see that too. If anyone is watching just getting into off-roading, I would recommend some of Ronny's back catalogue where he has info you can actually trust and with a strong emphasis on the safe way to do things.
For years I had always intended to buy a Troopy. When the time came I settled for a new diesel Hilux.
At the time, 2006, second hand Troopies, with quite a few Ks, were selling for as much as a new diesel Hilux. Not having much mechanical knowledge, I got cold feet about the second hand aspect.
I also thought the Troopy would be a cumbersome daily driver.
The Hilux has proved to be fine and it gets me all over with no mods except for 225/75/16 AT tyres.
If it ever dies though, it might back to the Troopy + a very small car for the supermarket run.
Okay.
I’m loving the Troopy. I like how it’s mechanically the same platform you’re used to, it’s styling matches your 79, it’s amazing in it’s simplicity. I think lockers would be my only concern. You hit the nail on the head with this one. A real attention grabber. Great job brother
I drive Troopies for work. Love them. Wouldn’t mind being able to afford one myself one day. Love the spaciousness.
Dream team of cars to own for me would be a patrol, Troopy, and a dual cab (for me I love tritons but controversial choice 😅)
Great series.
Your a great Dad Ronny....your kids will love you life for the experience
I bought the front runner table for my 76, to be honest, I don't use it all that often. If you do get one, get some stainless steel and cut it to the size of the original door card and then rivnut the table to the stainleas steel, much more secure that way.
Love thetroopy and love the basic, old school, and the family !
Nice video mate. Basic is where it all started and not all of us can afford the $150k 4WD with a fit out. Good stuff
Loved it! Thanks for what you do. Great camera work and editing.
Great setup Ronny. All you need and nothing else!
Just love your family trips videos. And truely epic places !!!
Very cool! Thanks for the video! Reminded me of a few of my favorite childhood memories
thank you for sharing the detailed video
sharing what is basic want take with you short trip and joy beauty of Australia bush
Great content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Troopies are just bloody beautiful and unique. Will never sell mine.
great episode, its closer to the setup many of us use. thanks for this basic one
Great video Ronnie. Loved watching you and the girls. Keep it up. Precious moments.
Excellent Ronni spending quality time with your kids it’s great to see 👍
I love the content, especially with the kids involved!
Enjoyed that a lot. Going with a light setup for a quick trip is so nice and easy.
Enjoying this more than the HILUX vids actually!!
Maddest fella bro!!!! Fits me with the Make it do mode mate. Learnt heaps off ya! Cheers Ronny
awesome to see you back to basics and really enjoying a simple life
I’m loving your new edits and the background music.
A variety of Bunnings eye bolts (male/female) fit those redundant seat bolts. 👍
I’ve got a daily driver troopy and 2 kids that I can quickly convert to a long range tourer and lightweight too. Heaps of ideas Ronny
What a refreshing episode.
This would have to be my favourite video of yours Ronny. the music the cinematography, back to basics and enjoying it with your family. keep it up mate 👌
Love that you brought your girls along, I've had my troopy since before I had my two boys but I haven't taken them on a decent trip yet. I can still take only one of them with only one seat that I can even put a booster on.
These videos are thoroughly enjoyable, Ronny. This style is a winner.
Thanks mate 👍
Great episode mate.
I went back to being a Troopy owner 3 years ago after owning pretty much every series of Landcruisers over the years. It was a great feeling and I just love the look of it and the practicality
Enjoy those moments with the kids, creating memories that can last for generations
My kids regularly talk about the trips from east to west Aus and back exploring the coast and hills. 😊
Eco, was just about to say the same thing. You're an awesome dad Ronny, your girls are having a great time!
Your best yet 👍🏻
Well this was wholesome! Just got a troopy myself, thanks for the kit ideas especially keeping it simple. I'm going to have to get that rear ladder!
Absolutely love this content.. this is what camping is all about.. not keeping up with the Jones’s..
And a Ragnarok license plate. Love it. :)
Good one Ronnie 👍
Good Stuff Ronny,
Old Tech still works off roading as good today as it did 30 - 40 years ago.
We had a MQ Patrol & 60 Series Landcruiser , that did all of the Vic High Country tracks to death as well as Big Red & the Simpson Desert.
We even had things like a Hand Winch lol :)
Best Most Enjoyable Fun Days of our Lives (if not a bit scary at times) those trips .
Beautiful video, Ronny! Production quality and b-roll was top notch. You did a great job of hiding the camera car. For a while I was thinking you filmed all by yourself.
Love minimalist camping
Nice one 👍🏼
Love the back to basics real world adventures
Great video. Troopy looks good. We mostly do day or one night trips so our setup is very similar and the kids love it. The one thing we need to change is our water supply. Takes up space in the back. Fortuner’s space in the back isn’t close to what the troopy has.
Nice update sir.
Big fan from New Delhi, India
Family adventures are the best!
Watching now
What a fun little trip. You already seem to be liking the Troopy a lot more than the Hilux.
That's nice bush camping experience with kids, much close to natural, not kinds of house moving camping.
awesome adventure
I bought a $10 air compressor chuck with a built in gauge. Clip on, gauge reads. Pull the trigger, bleeds air off. Let go to test pressure again. Much easier than stick/gauge.
I have one also I'll use it for dropping a few pounds but it's too slow for a major air down, also comes in handy as a back up inflation trigger if the other one dies (it's digital and the batteries go flat).
Great one! Gotta love the Troopy. First.
Awesome trip with your family brother love your videos aloha from across the ocean in beautiful Hawai'i
Really enjoyed this. The troopy is such a great vehicle. I'm just about to finish restoring my 75 series with a pop top and we also have a 78 to ferry our 5 kids around.
Which do you prefer the 75 or the 78?
@@Ronny_Dahl 78 is awesome- power and fuel efficiency wise. 75 I've had since 1999 and spent last 2 years restoring him. Has good ol 1HZ engine which I refurbished and stuck a turbo into it, really looking forward to seeing how it performs but never did have a problem pre turbo- sat comfortably at 110 cruising but did struggle up hill or towing. Fuel efficiency wasn't great geting about 450-480 a tank. 78 is incredible just about making Busso to Carnavon on 2 full tanks just about possible although we refuel in Geraldton. Check out my 75 which I just posted on TOA Facebook- he's now painted green!
My family in the early 80s did the Gibb River rd starting from the Goldfields returning back across the Nullarbor. my 2 sisters and I laid in the back of a troopy (no air con not even a radio in the new Toyota) all the way . The only seat in the back faced backwards so we saw a lot of were we had been. We had a very basic set up ice box as we didn't own a car fridge.
I enjoyed this video
4:48 Cycads! Neat
Vinyl floors was one of the reasons I bought a GLX+ Triton. I hate carpet in 4wd with a passion. Should have grabbed old mate on the adventure bike and compared setups.
Good vid. Cheers!
Looking good! Need some spotties or light bar and wheels be a weapon
I used a compressor like this once. Took me an hour an a half to bring all fours from 15 to 40 psi. As soon as came back I ordered one from Mean Mother that does it in like 5 to 10 minutes. It's around 200 AUDs and it worth every one of them.
The kids keeps you on your toes mate!
Nice video
Can we also see the unofficial trip? :D Cool Video! Thanks!
The kids in the back of the Troopy remind me of myself riding in the back of the family's International Travelall in the late 1960's.
Thats the way i like it...basic and no fancy expensive stuff.
Owsome trip. Hope I can fuind tropy some day in EU.
Cheers. 🍻
THIS IS LIVING
G'day Ronny, I'm a fairly new subscriber and loving the content. Lots of useful tips and tricks presented in a genuine humble manner. Can I please ask, what's the phone holder you're using ? It appears in the corner of the camera angle (at 3.20)while you're driving but I'm curious how it attaches to your dash. I'm struggling to find a good one that sticks here in the humidity of FNQ , cheers.
Nice long wheelbase equals comfort
Worn out springs and soft tyres definitely soften the ride. Actually, same wheelbase as the 79 series, which isn't really described as smooth or comfortable...
😂 back to basics, no diff locks !
Would love to see how the Troopy would do in Moab.
2024 hoped find out then. I dare say hells revenge will not be done in the troopy. 🤣🤣
@@Ronny_Dahl Pritchet canyon is the yardstick , lol
Not a chance, troopy is a soft roader
@@tosgem Oh so not as good as say, a Cherokee .🤔
M8 or M10 eye bolts and shorten some cheap J style ratchet straps for the fridge and icebox.
My 2 litres of fuel there. 🙂
Hey, question on the facelift troopies. I see people do really expensive upgrades to get the rear axle as wide as the new front axle by changing the whole thing.
But cant you just get wheels with a lower offset on the rear instead? Or cant that be done on these for some reason, or does it hurt the wheel bearings too much?
And do you even notice anything about the wheel track being smaller in the back?
Back to basics is best, however diff locks is good for extra safety
I’m 90% sure a child restraint anchor bolt fits the same hole for the seats you’ve taken out. Should be quick and easy to install, adds an eyelet that gives a few options for restraint straps. If you’re like me, with a couple of now older kids, you might have a few lying around no longer needed.
Not a bad idea mate
Ronny, any plans to kit the back section out with leaving the seats in that thr girls are sitting on would be cool and different. Probs Would need a fairly decent cage of some sort to stop draws kit out coming forward in an accident.
Yes there are big plans but before I start chopping and bolting things inside and outside I want to make 💯 sure I know what I want to do
wondering if you notice the rear track problem much? seeminge you have it corrected in the black truck and not the troopy looks like it skates around a lil bit on the sand
Hey Rony. If you can drop a Link to the compressor. Cheers!!
Hey Ronny! Man i just have one question, why don’t you want teflon on your camp? Keen onto your response
Did you bring the DPF,?
Lots of rattles. What type of suspension upgrade are you considering?
Something around 3 inch that’s road legal with 315’s in future
yeaa., a van will change your life...
What’s the clear bit on your window I’m trying to source them for my Landy
Best spot for your fridge is we're the ice box is, you said it yourself
